Kenneth Brigham on Tuesday, Feb. 29th, to St. Augustine's Monastery at Nassau in the Bahama Islands. Fr. Brigham asked me to travel with him because he feels he needs to get away from many pressures that he is under here in Chicago. It is my understanding that you spoke with him today, Feb. 28th, and that you are aware of his plans and of his condition. I spoke with Bishop Dempsey on Feb. 27th and informed him of Fr. Brigham's plans. He stated that in all likelihood Fr. Brigham "would be treated just like any other Priest who is sick in the Archdiocese". I am using my funds to pay for the airfare and to give Father enough to live on while he is down there. The round trip fare is $188. 00. I plan to give Fr. Brigham $300. 00. The total amount is $676. 00. Since my funds are extremely limited I sought advice from Fr. Rollins Lambert and he suggested that I take this step of writing to you for reimbursement. Thanking you for your kind attention to this matter, I am, /?• Sincerely yours in Christ, original document housed in the ARCHIVES OF THE HKOCESE ( Fr.

Am writing this letter in order that I might comply with what you directed in our most recent conversation. I have thought and prayed about what you proposed and have chosen a course of action guided by your suggestions. Secondly, regarding the continuance of my priestly apostolate in the Archdiocese, I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to suggest where I might best serve. Father George Clements has been most kind to me in these last several months, and you seemed well disposed to my remaining here with him, having suggested it yourself. In gratitude to Father Clements and re specting your opinion, I respectfully request to be assigned to Holy Angels. Heretofore, I have not had the opportunity to thank you for the letter from Rome in which you alerted me of your remembrance in your Mass at St. Peter's Tomb. I appreciate this momento as well as your patience and kindness in the matters contained in this letter. Yours very truly in the Peace UJn^u^.of Christ, - k Lev. Kenneth M.
